Pals and I were just discussing what the name of this lipstick is from the 80's.

It was pale mauvy bluey pink, frosted and made your teeth look yellow, but everybody had it.

Anybody know what the name was?

was it Rimmell or 17 or Constance Carroll?

Thanks!

I used to wear Heather Shimmer. Only cos my name is Heather, and I thought I was dead cool having a personalised lipstick

I had the Miss Selfridge version - Iron Lady iirc

HinnyPet · 21/12/2009 15:46

Thank you!
I can't believe how many of you answered!

I think we now need to find pictures of it... I'll go a-googling ....

Was there a Miners or Rimmel lipstick called Oyster Pearl? I remember Pacific Prawn as well!

catinwitchyboots · 01/11/2012 23:13

Rimmel

catinwitchyboots · 01/11/2012 23:13

Just read some I'd the thread? Do Rimmel still make it??

musttidyupmusttidyup · 01/11/2012 23:14

Wasn't the very white one blondie?

catinwitchyboots · 01/11/2012 23:14

Mmmm

Heather Shimmer and Bodyshop Dewberry perfume.

I was kool.

My best friend wore copper knockers. I can still remember that strange thick dry texture of it when I tried it.

musttidyupmusttidyup · 01/11/2012 23:18

Yy to dewberrry we used to scrunch it into our crispy perms.

Parisbanana · 01/11/2012 23:18

I had completely forgotten Copper Knockers! Am I right in thinking it was a Miss Selfridge lippy? And yes, very dry, but oh so sophisticated Grin

FerrisBueller1972 · 01/11/2012 23:19

I keep thinking of pink illusions lipstick and electric blue mascara and cringing my ass off at what I looked like, especially with crimped hair that had been liberally sprayed with sun in and blasted with the hair dryer BlushGrin

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 01/11/2012 23:20

Ha! I hated Heather Shimmer. Now Coffee Shimmer and Black Cherries, different story. Still wore Black Cherries when I went goth. Upgraded my perfume from White Musk to Poison (yes I know) at the same time.

MrsShriek3 · 01/11/2012 23:22

Ohhh blimey.... Yes I had Heather shimmer, twilight teaser (recently bought a friend one for her 40th, twas hilarious) and ice something. All minging shades of sickly sweet shimmery pink. Oh and had to be worn with the bright blue eyeliner, inside your eyelashes, ewww!!

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 01/11/2012 23:22

It must have been quite weird actually. My best friend wore heather shimmer, blue eyeliner/mascara and had bleached permed hair with half a can of Elnett on it and was a huge Wham fan (and dressed like it) and I was a miserable as fuck goth with shaved bits and a horrible habit of wearing corsets and shorts in public Blush

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 01/11/2012 23:25

Amethyst Shimmer?

I had Blondie, that was a 17 one.

Parisbanana · 01/11/2012 23:27

I've just remembered another one..... PonchoPink
Bit brighter than the other whose name will come to me, probably at 3 o'clock in the morning

MrsShriek3 · 01/11/2012 23:30

What was the name of the blue eyeshadow? I seriously can't remember.

Dillydollydaydream · 01/11/2012 23:35

Is it this no 17 one?

twilight teaser

kaumana · 01/11/2012 23:45

Deffo Twighlight Teaser!

Beaverfeaver · 02/11/2012 07:36

Still rocking the electric blue mascara here (sometimes)

Cloudminnow · 02/11/2012 07:38

Badvoc · 02/11/2012 07:40
